` Y, `female baking forms beneath.

To eliect the motion of slide valve 51lthere is provided a levei` 52pivotally mounted at its lower end, and having at its upper end a Vpin58 engaged-by a clip` 54 secured to the slide valve.

wherein the ports in said slide valve register with ports ,47 in the bottom of the dough pan, vand thus the slide valve receives an-' other charge kof dough.

The motion of theslide valve'may be said,

for purposes of description, to be long gitudi-V nal relative to the baking machine it serves.

When itis desired to change the size of conesbeing manufactured the `slide valve is to itsV reciprocatory motion untily another line Vwith ports 47 and nozzles 50, said seriesY of-v portsA being such as will deliver` theV re-' I [quired amount of'doiigh for 4the desiredsize* of cones;V f To accomplish the transverse movement of l 'the slide valve for the purpose of changing the series of ports in use, andalso tov confine vsaid slide 'valve to the proper path for its reciprocatorymotion, lguides 55 are provided upon each side of plate 49 to'which* said guides are secured bydowels 56, andi" between which guides theslide valve 51 is Asfillustrated: in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, there' shows the slide valve and Il? it were desired to use ports 581.` thea guides would be shifted so thatdowels 56 would be placed in holes y60,-V while il?v theuse ofports 59 were desired the guides would f b e shifted so that the dowels 56 would be placed 'in holes 6,1.

acrossy the valve 51, as

l An orifice lisopened through said into stems 39 upon the'plugs.

eacholisaid ports 57, 58 and 59, and a screw plug- 44is inserted into each of said orili'ces, as shownY in detail in Figs. 4 and 5. By screwing said plugs into or out of said ports the dough contained therein is regulated in amount. V

Asia means for rapidly. and .simultaneously adjusting the plugs 44 in each line,

cachot zsaid plugs is provided with a gear 43 integrally mounted thereon and adapted tomesh with a rack'42 adjacent thereto.

Eachof said iracks operates in a groove vor guideway transversely disposed upon the lupper face of valve 51 immediately adjacent to and parallel with one ofY said lugs 45, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 4 and 5.`

A handley 41is provided upon each rack 42 whereby said rack may be reciprocated transversely of valve 51, thereby through the means of gears V45 operating to screw the plugs 44 into or lout of their respective ports, thereby regulating the amount of dough to be contained in eachof said ports.

A modified forni of operating the adjusting plugs is'illustrated in Fig. 6, wherein the plugs are not screwed into their respective ports, 'but are fitted into said ports reciproeatingly, Veach line of said plugs being inter-connected vby' a rod 40 passing through Uponeach end; Oli-'each of said rods 40 is mountedpone endof 'a reach rod 38, the opposite ends of said reach rods being pivotally connected by means of a bar 37.

j Said bar`37 --is connected to a hand lever Jv36 by means of. a link 35, andv said hand lever is fulcrumed'upon a bracket 34 secured to any convenientAA member of the frame work.k

vA reciprocating-motion imparted tohand lever 36 imparts I (by means of link 35, bar37, reach rods' 38 androd 40)` a reciprocating motion to each of the plugs.

similar system of parts isprovided for each of rods 40,1ea'ch system lying in a hori- Zontal plane immediately above or below the adjacent system. w

Amodiied construction of doughfpan is presented in Figs.- 7, 8' and 9,`in kwhich the Vbottom of the ldough pan has corrugations '62' in which are revolubly mounted cylinders 63, each cylinder having several series of portsof various sizes, as 64, and 66,

adapted to register with ports 67 in the l dough pan bottom. n The mechanismpreviously described for Levers 68 .are'secured to each cylinder, and a link69 connects all said levers to operate same simultaneously. f j l As thecylinders are lturned so that the portsrtherein Ylie 'beneath' the level Aof the dough, was shown' in ldotted* lines in Fig. 9, the ports'fwill be iilled5'andy as the cylinders are again turned int'otheposition shown in full lines in Fig. 9 so that the upper ends of the ports therein are abovethe level of the dough and said ports register with'ports 67, the dough contained in thecylinder ports will be discharged through ports 67 into the female forms below. K

The cylinders 63 may be moved longitudinally within the dough pan for the purpose of bringing either series of ports 64, 65 or 66 into register with ports 67 and secured-V in the desired position by means of pins 70. My invention may be made of any size,

and constructed of any materials deemed convenient and suitable in a device of this character, and while I have illustrated and described a preferred form of construction and arrangement of parts found desirable in materializing my invention, I lwish to in. clude in this application for Letters Patent all mechanical equivalents or substitutes that may fairly be considered to come within the scope and purview of my invention as defined in the appended claims.`

Having disclosed invention, what I claim is:-

l. A dough depositor comprising a reservoir to contain dough having a plurality of symmetrically disposed ports vin the bottom thereof; a valve adapted to coact with said ports, and having therein a plurality of series of ports, the ports in each of said series being symmetrically disposed correspondingly to said ports in the bottom of said reservoir, and the ports in each of said Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner ol Patents,

Washington, D. G.

series being of ay size'varying from that vof to shift the valve so that any series of ports therein may-coact with the ports in the-bot- Vtomof said reservoir; and means for reciprocating said valve so'lthat the ports in one e of said series therein may periodically open ports inthe, bottom of said,l

and close the reservolr.

2. A dough ydepositor comprising a reser-V voir having a plurality of symmetricallyY disposed ports therein; a valve having a plu-vV ,i

ral series of receptacles therein, the receptacles in each of said series being symmet-r rically disposed correspondingly to said ports, and the receptacles in each of said series being of a size varying from those in each of the lother series; means for setting the valve so that the receptacles in any one of said series may be filled with doughvfrom V`said reservoir; and operable means vfor periodically `filling-said receptacles from said reservoir.v f
